The Ogun State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expressed shock over the death of a former Minister of Commerce and Industry, Sen Jubril Martins-Kuye
\nThe party described Martins-Kuye as one of the untiring pillars of support, a foremost party leader and one of the few founding fathers of PDP in Ogun State.
\nThe PDP, in a statement by its Ogun State Chairman, Sikirulai Ogundele, on Sunday said the demise of the elder statesman was a \u201cdevastating blow below the belt for the party.
\nHe said the party expected that it would continue to draw progressive inspiration from JMK\u2019s pool of abundant experience and wise counsel especially as the PDP repositions for electoral successes in the coming periods.
\nThe statement reads, \u201cWe are consoled by the irreducible facts that our dear leader lived a worthy life of quality service to his immediate community, Ogun State and Nigeria as a federal minister on two different occasions.
\n\u201cWithout a doubt, this is a huge loss to the entire political class both in Ogun State and the nation at large.
\n\u201cThe party extends warm soothing words of condolences to the Kuye family, all party men, the people of Ogun state and associates across the country.
\n\u201cWe pray that the Almighty Allah, in His infinite mercies, accepts the elder statesman\u2019s soul and give the family and the nation required fortitude to bear this loss.\u201d
\nDAILY POST reports that the former Minister\u2019s body will be buried at 4pm on Sunday.
